ENGL 242 — Documentary Film
A study of nonfiction film, this course will focus on the power of documentary to record and reveal – but also to distort – aspects of the real world. Classic documentary film, propaganda films, autobiographical films, nonfiction television series, and internet videos are just some of the possible texts that this course will screen and analyze. Students will be guided throughout the semester on writing and research strategies and techniques specific to audiovisual media.
